Qinhuangdao · Shanhaiguan · Laolongtou

The Millennium Roar at the End of the Great Wall On the shore of the Bohai Sea, at the foothills of the Yanshan Mountains, Laolongtou stretches like a giant dragon probing the sea, fusing the grandeur of the Great Wall with the vastness of the ocean into an eternal masterpiece. This is the eastern starting point of the Ming Great Wall, where the wall is built along the mountains and sea. The blue bricks and dark tiles bear the marks of time and weather, while the enemy towers and beacon towers stand tall amid the roar of the waves, as if telling the stories of the border guards’ patriotism. Climb high to gaze at the sea, where the tides rise and fall, pounding the foundation of the wall. Where the waves splash, history and nature compose a symphony; stroll through Chenghailou, and the magnificent view of "the Great Wall connecting with the sea and the sky" unfolds before your eyes. In the morning light, golden rays spread over the sea; at dusk, fishing lights reflect on the city—each scene a grand expression of the mountains and rivers. Every brick here is engraved with the vicissitudes of time, and every roar of the waves hides a story. From the beacon fires guarding the border in the Ming Dynasty to today’s peaceful seas and rivers, Laolongtou has stood firm, witnessing the millennium embrace of the Great Wall and the sea, and embodying the majestic spirit of the Chinese land.
